It was like I was talking a foreign language to them because no one I knew had ever heard of such a thing before. To start out, “TEFL” stands for Teaching english as a Foreign Language. TEFL is described by the International TEFL and TESOL Training organization (ITTT) as a term that “…is mainly used when english is being taught in a country where it isn't the native language (i.e. teaching english to Italians in Italy).” See http://www.teflonline.net/what-is-tefl/. The website further explains, “The standard, international qualification required for this position is either a TEFL or TESOL certificate. With

this certification you’re able to take advantage of your english skills and use them to find meaningful and exciting employment around the world.” http://www.teflonline.net/what-is-tefl/.
